We are a family run business on the second floor, across from the beach. This double room has an en-suite at the back of the property. All three of our rooms share a kitchen and open-air area facing the ocean.

Our place is open air and palm roofed with spectacular views of the ocean. You can relax in your choice of hammocks, conch chairs or in the library area. You also have full use of a kitchen to prepare meals should you decide to eat in. Onsite we run an excellently reviewed (see trip advisor) vegetarian restaurant, and many different massages and therapies, including water massage, pranic healing and reiki to mention just a few.

San Agustinillo is a small fishing village about 1 hour away from Puerto Escondido. It consists of 1 main road, which runs along a section of the expansive beach. The beach is divided into 3 parts, 2 small sheltered bays suitable for swimming, and one large section of open ocean, which is great for surfing. The far end of the beach is still mostly untouched with scarcely any people. From that end of the beach you can witness a glorious sunset. From the other end, a wonderous sunrise.
There are a variety of restaurants within 5 minutes walk. You can arrange to go on a tour to see the whales and dolphins, sport fishing, rafting, turtle nesting and hatching, and to see the crocodiles in the nearby lagoon. There are several yoga and meditation schools in the surrounding area offering month long courses or daily drop in classes.

Amy is a very good hostess, always willing to help and give advice if one requires, his hostel has comfortable spaces to relax and enjoy good food along the beach!

Amy and her partner Cesar are beautiful and welcoming people. They are very knowledgeable about the area and can help with all sorts of information. We had a really wonderful time at Luz del Sol and left feeling like we'd made some really incredible, genuine new friends. Thank you Amy and Cesar!!!

A few minutes from the beach, surrounded by nature. Relax & enjoy bird watching from your hammock on a spacious terrace. Easy access to public transporation & 5 unique coastal villages in Oaxaca´s Riviera region. 2 bedrms with ensuite bathrooms.

Enjoy our laid back lifestyle. There´s as much or little to do as you like. Enjoy the beach every day or explore this beautuful region full of culture and heritage. From local markets to eco tours and artisan shoppings, there´s always something to do. And at night, there´s no shortage of lovely restaurants within walking distance.

Yesss! This place was a little slice of paradise! San Agustinillo is an amazing little town with an incredible beach, the beach is about a 5 minute walk. Great location, beautiful new 2BRs with bathrooms. Raquel was an absolute sweetheart. Recommend, recommend, recommend!

Albert & co are lovely & the place is beautifully decorated & styled in a serene rustic fashion. The location is excellent, being very close to the main swimming beach in the area. It's a lively and very noisy corner a great place for someone wanting to get out & do things but not ideal if you want quiet. Apparently I was there in high season but still it's not very sound proof so it's good to be aware of if it does happen to be busy like it was when I was there.

The place is very quiet and pleasant, the room is large and very clean, 2 min from the beach, perfect place to go alone or accompanied, Albert and Rose behaved very attentive with me forever! I definitely recommend La Laguna, you feel like home :)

Lalaguna is the perfect little spot to chill after a day in the beach. The host was super nice, flexible and attentive. We enjoyed the terrace, garden and room... their environment and decor make the whole place really enjoyable, and its location is perfect to have a short walk to the beach. Looking forward to going back!

Albert and Rupert were great hosts, providing us with help and entertainment every step of the way. The room was quiet, cozy and the beds were very comfortable. Situated rolling distance from the beach and next to the best fish taqueria I have been to in Mexico, life in Mazunte at Albert's apartment was very comfortable.

Yhonatan was super helpful and easy going with everything. There were no complications in any way. This is the right place if you want to have a chilled and set back atmosphere yet being close to the beach and in the middle of the little town. I enjoyed my stay there and appreciated the warm and friendly vibes of yhonatan and his family! Very cool experience, a place you can feel at home!

We had a wonderful stay with Ananda and Eric. Mazunte itself is beautiful and has a really great vibe. It completely surpassed all our expectations. An and a and Eric's place is charming, their house is beautifully decorated and very clean. We enjoyed the kitchen and the garden and I very much recommend staying here.

Very nice location for quite times outside of Mazunte's vibe. Paul is a person very dedicated to whatever he does, being a good host is one thing he cares much about. The room is simple and very comfortable. I recommend this place but make sure you don't mind walking a little bit.

Pablo is a wonderful human being and it was a treat to share his effort to live a sustainable life style. Very admirable. Pablo is also a gifted artisan, having published a beautiful illustrated book about the birds of Oaxaca state. Certainly a sustainable lifestyle requires special action to just how you live and Pablo can share his life experience with you in English Spanish or French I look forward to my next visit and the delightful village of Mazunte

Casa de las Mariposas is an inspiring, spacious, open-plan, beautiful and peaceful home with stunning pacific views high over Mazunte, Rinconcito and San Agustinillo beaches. This hand-sculpted house would not look out of place in a fantasy film such as the hobbit. A little piece of heaven tucked away in the natural, rural west coast of Mexico.

Casa de las Mariposas is an inspiring, beautiful and peaceful family home set above and overlooking the beaches of Mazunte, Rinconcito, Mermejita and San Agustinillo. (See all photos included at the top of the listing picture 1 is a view of Mazunte beach from our favourite cafe).
With stunning Pacific views in a private, calm and peaceful natural environment. You will never be woken by traffic, car horns, late night drumming or 2 am, 3 am and 4am rooster calls as is the case closer to the village and beach.
20 minutes stroll down to Rinconcito, Mazunte or Mermajita beaches, shops and restaurants and 20 minutes to the beautiful and legendary sunset's of Punta Cometa what more could you ask for.
This artistically built home is entirely natural and would not be out of place on the set of a fantasy film such as The Hobbit. It is completely round, with a palm thatched roof and built with meter thick clay walls, it maintains a comfortable temperature year round, combined with the natural breeze and shade from the natural palm palapa roof. The spacious open plan living makes this home one of the largest, most beautiful, comfortable and affordable available in Mazunte at this time.
Casa de las Mariposas is protected as much as possible by mosquito screens, has a fully equipped open plan kitchen with ice cooled fridge/cooler, gas cooker and oven and breakfast table. There is a lounge/reading area and dining area with dining table to seat 6. Also found downstairs is a bedroom with lockable wardrobe for valuables, 1 double bed and a quaint cabin bed built/sculpted into the wall (fabulous for children or hobbits).
The spacious bathroom has 2 full length mirrors, hand-sculpted shower and normal, flushing as opposed to dry toilet facilities more commonly found in the area, very family friendly.
Upstairs you will find the large open plan bedroom, it offers 1 enormous king and 1 double bed, a chest of drawers, wardrobe and seating area as well as the obligatory hammock of course. All beds benefit from the added protection of individual mosquito nets.
The balcony with drop down desk for laptops looks out over the surrounding area with stunning pacific views, you may find yourself tempted to spend your entire stay up there.
We have a large private garden which comes with a 15 minute discrete watering visit 3 weekday mornings from our gardener/handyman. The house is completely solar powered with complimentary satellite wifi, sluggish at best but sufficient for most average needs (the entire village is the same unfortunately) private parking for up to 3 vehicles (4 wheel drive a necessity in the rainy season). Drinking water is supplied for you and delivered every other day for a minimal cost should you run out.
We have a small local team on call should you run into any problems, they will introduce themselves in the afternoon or next morning after your arrival to check that everything is as you'd hoped and to answer any questions or queries you may have. You will be issued with their contact details before your journey to Mazunte begins along with detailed instructions on how everything works and how to get around, we ask that you print and bring this with you for you stay.
You will have private access to the entire house and garden as we sadly no longer live locally.
The road to the house is an easy 15 minute walk downhill to the beach or village but a longer 25 minute walk up, not for the elderly or very unfit, especially in the heat of the day, it pays to be organised (a taxi to the house from the the village centre or beach is only 20-30 pesos).
Do bring a good torch or 2 for evening walks! Mazunte only has street lights on main roads so this is essential. Bug repellent can be purchased locally or bring your own, despite the screens mosquitos will always find their way into the house. Most other homes and all restaurants are completely open in Mazunte and surrounding villages so you should aim to be protected from biting mosquito's at all times of day.
The house is very private with no-one overlooking so interaction with the locals and the village is entirely under your control. The beauty of living in this location is the privacy and peace it offers at all times. Security is not a problem, we have had a couple of unfortunate break-ins over the past 12 years, the first where guests left all the shutters open and went to the beach and another where the kick-lock on the front door was not closed, both incidents were shocking for us and we immediately installed a couple of tiny cameras, it was discovered soon after that our gardeners son had taken advantage of the guest errors and needless to say neither he nor our gardener no longer work for us.
On a happier note there is a little black cat called 'Oso' who belongs to our neighbour, she is likely to visit during your stay and has discovered endless ways t get into the house, she is very gentle and affectionate but we ask guests not to feed her or allow her on beds or furniture, cuddles are optional but feel free to ask her to leave should cats not be your thing (we cannot guarantee she will get the hint she has melted the hearts of most of our guests).
The drive up to the house takes several minutes but it should be noted that the dirt road can be difficult to negotiate for inexperienced drivers. A 4xwheel drive or 'bocho' (local name for VW Beetle) are the best vehicles for this especially in the rainy season. There are local taxis in the centre of the village for guests without vehicles or those wanting to keep their vehicles on the paved roads. As mentioned before, for a small charge of around 20-30 pesos you can get a taxi up the hill and be at the door in minutes, we also have connections for airport and bus station pick up and drop off for those that require it at much reduced prices than the airport taxi's. (Full details available upon booking)
Everything you need for a comfortable and fun stay is available in the village of Mazunte with many great restaurants to choose from as well as local festivals, live music and a wide choice of excursions and tours including swimming with turtles, whale watching and crocodile spotting tours all within reach and at very reasonable prices.
The newly updated and refurbished turtle museum offers a great insight into the world of this much respected sea animal and during the season there are daily opportunities to release baby turtles into the wild, an experience adult and child alike will never forget.
San Agustinillo, Zipolite and Puerto Angel are just a short drive, taxi or collectivo ride away at a minimal cost and each beach offers the visitor a completely different experience. There are a couple of swimming pools to choose from if you so desire as well. It is very easy and economical to get around.
The town of Pochutla is only 25 minutes away and well worth a visit on Monday market day, it offers a large supermarket if you prefer to stock up or for those items you may not find locally.
Just 20 minutes drive away visit the mangroves and lagoon of Ventanilla with its natural crocodile and bird sanctuary the stunning boat tour is a must for all nature lovers. Early morning horse riding along the long expanse of natural Ventanilla beach is incredible and whale watching boat tours are also available in season. Further afield you may wish to go white water rafting or take water hikes and bird watching trips along the Copalito and San Francisco rivers.
Huatulco's town, breathtaking bays and international airport (HUX) are within an hour from Mazunte and can been reached by car, bus or taxi. In the opposite direction and also one hour's travel is Puerto Escondido town and international airport (PAX). Famous for its fabulous waves, surfing competitions and nightlife it's well worth a visit. The beautiful and historical city of Oaxaca is an amazing 6 hour drive or minibus ride (from Mazunte or Pochutla) through tropical forests and high altitude coffee plantations, the views are spectacular although a little queasy for those with sensitive travel tummies. The is also a or 10 hour airconditioned bus ride from Pochutla to Oaxaca. Also with it's own international airport (OAX), flights from Oaxaca to the coast are twice daily, cheapest when booked in advance.
Finally, bring a positive attitude, a willingness to enjoy a good uphill walk, a good torch/flash-light as street lights are only found on the main roads of Mazunte and bug repellent.
We are not a hotel nor do we claim to offer hotel facilities or service, we are a totally original handmade family home in beautiful, rural, coastal Oaxaca. We will give you the opportunity to experience a little piece of the real Mexico so often missed by many travellers, we have a small local team in place to help things run smoothly, everyone around here run at the relaxed speed they live their lives by. Do please remember, we cannot control the wildlife or the bugs nor public transport, public roads or the weather, please come willing and prepared to enjoy your experience the way life is meant to be lived on the coast of Oaxaca ... with a super-relaxed, happy attitude and an open mind.
Happy travels.
Saludos, Naiya x

Our little neighbourhood consists of a few private homes scattered about the hill owned and lived in by mostly foreigners or out of towners who have chosen Mazunte as their permanent home. We love our peaceful, happy neighbourhood and although set above the village feel very much a part of everything but without the noise and dust of traffic and passing traders, it's a true escape.

Casa de las mariposas is beautifully designed with lots of attention to detail and is a true inspiration. We really enjoyed being woken up by the intense sunrises in the morning, sitting out on the tranquil balcony with our coffee while watching the sun rise quickly over the horizon - that view does not get old! We are a small family that was traveling with a 6 month old, and we found the house to be very peaceful and serene and the king bed to be the perfect size to fit the three of us for sleeping. As others have mentioned, we did have a difficult time getting up the private road that leads to the house, even with an AWD car (we requested a 4WD but Hertz rentals in Huatulco only had an AWD for us available) and experienced driver. The road was quite bumpy (which the baby LOVED!) and we were not able to make it all the way up to park at the house due to the last stretch being too washed out, but the walk was short from where we were able to leave the car. We also weren't able to reach any of the local staff upon our arrival via telephone or (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN), even though we had a global plan and could make calls and use wifi, so we ended up texting with Sarah to figure out where the house was (feeling bad all the while because it was after midnight in the UK when we were texting her!). She was very responsive and helpful. The house instructions say it is easy to find a taxi driver to take you up to the house but this in fact is no longer an option. The taxi driver that they recommend does not drive the VW Beetle anymore that could make it up the hill and normal cabs won't even attempt the climb, as it would ruin their cars. A true 4x4 is the only way to get up there after the rainy season - unless you want to walk. The house is very well netted for mosquitos, but there are still large sections that are open-air, like where the walls meet the roof, so there are still many mosquitos in the house and it is advised to wear bug spray while you are there. We purchased some local, all-natural bug repellent lotion from the cosmetics store in Mazunte and used that on the baby as well and it helped! I didn't know this before arriving, but Chikingunya is present in the area, so be advised and be diligent with protection if you don't want to ruin your vacation with that pesky virus. Overall, our stay was lovely and we would recommend it for those who are looking to stay in a tranquil and beautiful space overlooking the ocean and who aren't afraid of a little adventure! Thanks to Sarah for building this beautiful haven in Mazunte!

Casas de las Mariposas is one of the small heavens on earth! We stayed there for four days and everything was amazing! To start with...the owner! Sarah was more than helpful! She was willing to answer to all our questions and to accept our proposals in making our stay better! I am also a host and we exchanged really good ideas! Laura, the person responsible for the house, will welcome you and explain everything you want to know about the house and even more! Concerning the house...we are in love with it and we will visit it every year if possible! The rooms, the beds, the kitchen and the bathroom...absolutely beautiful! And the (URL HIDDEN) of the best! You get a feeling of comfort and well done decoration and in the same time being in the nature without spoiling it! You are in a totally quiet and relaxed place which feels like being a part of the nature! You will relax and enjoy yourself in this paradise called Mazunte and this house will become one of your "best memories" places! Highly recommended!!!

Our experience with Casa de las Mariposas was unforgettable. The house was absolutely stunning and we felt the staff looked after us really well. We were welcomed the morning following our arrival by the rental agent who gave us a low down of the surrounding area and ways to occupy our time. Great tips. The communication with Sarah was very easy from the start. We never had to wait more than a couple hours for a reply. Mazunte is a wonderful little town, the beaches are beautifully kept (very big waves if you like to surf...for swimming Playa Marmejita isn't recommended) and the people are friendly. It's always sunny and hot (The hike back up to the house in the middle of the day is arduous and sweaty but it's also a great form of cardio!). The only minor negative are the mosquitoes after the sun sets. We have definitely seen worse but it's a good thing to bring bug spray. The house itself was one of the most charming we've been in. The attention to detail is quite impressive and it is obvious that the house was built intuitively; the energy flows freely and beautifully. The view from the top balcony is wonderful and a great place to do yoga in the morning. The only downside to our visit having to turn off the fridge because of problems with the solar power. But I have a feeling it was an unusual situation. So to recap, our time at Sarah's house was pretty much spectacular.

Rita was a warm and gracious host! I loved the posada and the room. Only 3 rooms in the posada, each with their our bathroom and a nice kitchen made it feel like you had an apartment to yourself. The restaurant downstairs was delicious authentic Italian food! The location was great, super easy to find the minute you arrive to the town of Mazunte. I would have loved to stay much longer!! Grazie Rita per farmi sentire como famiglia:)

The listing description was correct; the house is ideal for someone who likes to cook (it has an open kitchen with sea view, plenty of utensils, pots, pans, etc). The farm workers come to water the plants and make maintenance and cleaning, so they tend to be very present in the mornings. They can answer your questions (in case you have questions or need information about the area). Communication was very good. The hostess - Natalie - is very friendly and attentive. Beaches are quite close and there are also small shops very close to stay. I would recommend the place and would return without hesitation! Yes - take me an arsenal of mosquito repellent! ;)

My sweetie and I absolutely loved our stay at Casa Dory. Taxi was arranged for us from Huatulco airport and there was no trouble finding and entering the home. It's a super quick walk to town and the best swimming beach but feels very private and removed, set above the hustle and bustle. A steep climb of stairs (our daily exercise ;) meant that we got an incredible ocean view and breeze. It was our daily haven during the heat of the day where we could post up in the hammock or in the open air kitchen/living room. The bed is comfy and mosquito net works well. The kitchen is equipped with basic stuff, although an avid cook my find it lacking. We mostly used the blender (which works great!). The lot is shared with another home. It was empty when we were there so it wasn't a bother. The property attendants (gardener and cleaner) were regularly present which we didn't mind but this may not be the best option for someone seeking extreme privacy. All in all, we loved it, would recommend it for a couple looking for a sweet escape.

Facing true South in a one acre garden, overlooking the village, beaches and Punta Cometa. Its design inspired by majestic panoramic views of the ocean and night skies; perfect for a relaxing retreat, for birdwatchers, stargazers and photographers.

Before building Casa de la Herbolaria, the owner, an herbalist, spent two years camping on the land; to let herself be inspired by the surrounding beauty and to learn of the sun and wind patterns.
From almost everywhere in the house, one can see the sunrise or the sunset. Like the round shape of the sun, the space is filled with gentle curves; to better circulate from the kitchen counters to the couch to the bathrooms to the plunge bath and the encircling stone walls but also to create a feminine and sensuous energy.
On the top floor
A master bedroom with a Queen size bed, in a cathedral thatched roof for an almost constant breeze.
En suite bathroom with a traditional wash basin and a vast ocean view from the toilet...
A small and private terrace for sun bathing or stargazing or yoga.
On the main floor
A well equipped screened in kitchen, with 2 small counters for eating.
A lounging couch and hamac facing the ocean and a small cooling pool.
A full bathroom with again a view of the ocean.
A vast terasse with dining area with its bread/pizza oven and grill.
An outdoor shower and sun/star bed, ideal after the beach and before a plunge in the bath.
A small mexican style clothes washing and drying area, with another nice view of the ocean.

Location
The house is located on a small hill, facing the nature reserve Punta Cometa, the most southern point in Mexico touching the Pacific ocean, with paths and magnificient views of sunrises and sunsets. Looking South-Est are Rinconcito and Mazunté beaches along with views towards San Agustinillo and Zipolité. On the South-West side you will find wild Mermeijita beach, perfect for long walks and salutes to the sunsets. Most houses in the neighborhood uses solar electricity and therefore you will find no electric power lines blocking the ocean views nor light contamination that would prevent you from admiring the night sky.
It is a 10 minute walk down to the village and beaches and Punta Cometa and maybe a few minutes longer to climb back up...depending on physical shape.
In the book of house instructions, you will find all the necessary informations for visiting neighbouring villages and towns with details on food shops and restaurants and much more.

Casa de Herbolaria is an awesome eco-friendly house located in between the two main beaches of Mazunte. Perched on a hill, it provides a great view of the sunset and sunrise. The architecture and design are top notch, it's truly a unique place. Patricia was great with communication and getting everything set up. Recommend for anyone looking for rustic living with amenities in Mazunte.

Casa La Herbolaria is a wonderful space to rest and join the awesome experience of the nature. The description and pictures are accurate. Is a peaceful house where you can reflect on everything you want. Also, Salvador and Natalie were in touch with us in every moment and they gave us a great welcome. I really recommend this place!

The kitchen is well designed and the view is amazing!!! The sunrise wakes up us everyday and we enjoy the sunset with a cup of mezcal. We love the kitchen a lot. It is a really great vacation home~ so relaxing:)

Casa se la Herbolaria is exactly as described and pictured -- it is a rustic getaway in a sleepy, surfer town with an unbeatable view of the ocean and the point. You can get a wifi signal, but it's not so strong that you can't break away from the chaos of everyday life and relax. But of course in an open-air home, you are one with nature in every way, so be prepared to be a little hot in the summer, have some bug friends around, and bats that are present but leave you completely alone. Expect that going in, and you will enjoy a relaxing private getaway. Paty is an excellent host. She not only has a lovely home that perfectly reflects the environment it is in, she has a support team in Mazunte that can deliver on any immediate needs.

This bright room with private bathroom and fabulous ocean views is great for easy-going people who want to spend time in a hammock on the terrace while watching the ocean, have access to a nice semi- open air kitchen and enjoy some time on a beautiful beach. The main plus points to this house is that there are only 2 rooms that share the common area, it is 2 minutes from the beach, is nicely decorated and has a nice kitchen. The room has its own private, but very basic, bathroom.
